Padron cigars are quite unarguably one of the finest in the world, and 50 years of excellence is certainly a landmark deserving of recognition and celebration. Originally released as part of an exclusive limited-run humidor set, the Padron 50th Anniversary cigars are now available as refills in a 50-cigar box. Offered in both natural leaf and maduro leaf wrappers, these rare Nicaraguan cigars are individually serial-numbered, and one can expect a medium (natural) to full (maduro) bodied experience nothing else can compare to. Delicious notes of nutmeg, cedar, cocoa and cinnamon fuse together to bring forth a signature texture that will prove why Padron perpetually remains at the top of their field. Here's to another 50 years.

Manufacturer

Padron

Quite possibly one of the world's most well-known and respected cigar brands, Padron is a testament to hard work and commitment to quality. Padron Cigars was founded in 1964 by Jose Orlando Padron, a Cuban exile with nothing but a hammer to do carpentry work in order to make his dream of cigarmaking come true. Today, Padron Cigars is one of the most prestigious brands made in Nicaragua, where the company grows and cures their own tobacco to use in the production of their premium handmade cigars. The Padron family supervises the process from seed to the cigar box both in Nicaragua and at their headquarters in Little Havana, Miami.

This is one of the two cigars - along with Opus X - that made me fall in love with cigars. Just an incredible pleasure to have. A must try for any serious cigar smoker looking for the best in the world. If it's not on your bucket list, put it on there.

One of the most rare Padron cigars you'll find. Absolutely gorgeous. This could easily be a bucket-list cigar, but the price is way more than fair to buy one for that one special day. Such an amazing cigar. Well done, again and again, Padron Cigars. They never cease to amaze me.

Take the 5 star rating for burn,, draw, and taste with a grain of salt. I haven't actually smoke this cigar yet. It's patiently aging in my tupperdor. However, if you're concerned about whether or not it's a risk to order such an expensive cigar from an online vendor, have no fear. Both of mine arrived a week later than scheduled based on the inefficiencies of the USPS. Still, when I finally received them, they were fresh and completely in tact. Neptune ships cigars very well protected and humidified. Have confidence.
